United Dumplings — Restaurant in San Francisco

We've been to United Dumpling a few times and have also ordered for home delivery, both, have been good experiences. Our favorite is the spicy sichuan wonton in red oil, it's spicy, juicy and very flavorful. Their mission chicken pot stickers are one of a kind, cheesy and creamy, something very unique. They aren't fried, but the spewing cheese gives it a little crunchy burnt texture. They come with a creamy dip, which is great. The singapore curry chicken fried rice seemed a bit bland initially, but their special chilli oil dip takes the flavor to another level. I highly recommend chilli oil with the rice and mission pot stickers. The chicken and jumbo soup dumplings were a bit of a disappointment, especially after trying the flavorful dumplings and wonton. The coating on all their dumplings and wontons is nice and thin and not doughy at all. The cumin lamb had a very strong, almost excess, cumin taste to it. Overall, this place is good and their prices are perfect for the quantity they serve. We have been to their Chestnut location, it's a small place with outside seating options. Our server was very astute and multi-tasking, running all over the restaurant to get the orders right; at times, we felt a bit rushed. We will be going back here to try more dishes...

Ideally, I'd give it a 3.5/5.

United Dumplings in the Marina District offers a decent dumpling experience with efficient service. We tried their pork soup dumplings and Korean BBQ beef dumplings.

The pork soup dumplings were enjoyable, but the soup filling could have been more generous. The dumpling wrapper itself felt a bit thick and doughy. Each dumpling also came in a small paper plate, which made sure that the dumpling didn't break as you tried to pick it up from the container.

On the other hand, the Korean BBQ beef dumplings were a unique twist. The bulgogi flavor was well-integrated into the dumpling, making it a tasty option.

Service was impressively swift, and the restaurant boasts both indoor and outdoor seating, catering to various preferences. While the dumplings were satisfactory, they didn't quite reach exceptional status.

Overall, United Dumplings is a solid choice for a quick dumpling fix in the Marina, but don't expect to...

We sat on the outside tables and it wasn't too cold out, it was rather sunny but we were in the shade. We ordered a chicken XLB, a pork XLB and korean bbq beef dumplings, the food arrived pretty quickly. The dumplings were well presented, tasty and the quantity-price ratio was good (8 for ~$12). the sauces arrived with the dumplings and we were disappointed by them as they tasted a little too vinegary(?). The beef dumplings were good but the dough overpowered the filling. The XLB's were tasty and the soup was good.

however after 3 dumpling plates for 3 people that we shared (that worked out well), we didn't feel too full which would be good for a dessert but we were looking for more of a stomach filling place to eat.

Overall, we were satisfied and the area of the restaurant is a nice street when it's sunny, full of other restaurants, shops and even some ice cream places...
